What do smokers need to do to comply with the new law?

A person who smokes will need to be aware of and attentive to signs indicating that smoking is prohibited. If a person is smoking and is asked by the person in charge of the venue to extinguish the cigarette, cigar or other item, the smoker should immediately extinguish it.
